Lisbon ratings & reviews
Lisbon city rating by our language course clients
What our students said about Lisbon
A great city, with a very beautiful old town. Unfortunately, many others have already discovered this :-). It is very crowded. You can easily reach a lot on foot and everything else very cheaply by metro, bus, train or Uber. I really enjoyed living outside, close to the school, so I also got to know the "non" touristy Lisboa. I am still thrilled and it was definitely not the last time.
I felt very comfortable in Lisbon. I didn’t feel stressed as I do in other European capitals. Lisbon is a beautiful city, the people are courteous and friendly and there is so much to do. And the FOOD is the best, everything I tasted was excellent. I plan on returning!
Lisbon has a special soul and it can be found in every corner through the countless "pastelaria" and "jardim" with kiosks and seating options....Simply beautiful and cosy. The city is a mass of contrasts and offers so much to discover! I am thrilled!
A very beautiful city. I would personally avoid Lisbon in summer as there are so many tourists in the city. The sights and food, as well as the friendliness of the locals, are a delight.
Lisbon is a beautiful city. There are just a lot of streets that go uphill and that can be a bit tiring after a while. Especially when it's 36 degrees.
Lisbon is an attractive and appealing place with a special flair. Here you can feel comfortable. The climate is still pleasant even in November.
The best city I have visited !!! Small capital, full of charm, lots of things to do in the city and in the surrounding area. Amazing experience.
I know Lisbon from many previous visits, we have a flat nearby. That's why I'll skip this part of the evaluation.
Lisbon is a very beautiful city that has a lot to offer. At the same time, it is a city with a lot of tourism.
Amazing place! Would now live there if had the chance. Locals so friendly, trusting and helpful

Course: Intensive Group Course - 3 weeks
Student age: 75 years
The center is quite small but well organised. Teachers are friendly and professional.
Thank you.
3 December 2025
Course: Standard Course 20 - 3 weeks
Student age: 40 years
Very customer-oriented organisation and process. Dedicated teachers, although not all equally professional in terms of teaching methods. I think that's less important than support and a willingness to give attention.

Course: Standard Course + Workshop - 2 weeks
Student age: 79 years
Very interesting lessons with lots of opportunities for conversation in the afternoon workshop. The class composition is international.
A highly recommended school with nice teachers and staff.

Q&A - Questions about Portuguese courses and schools in Lisbon
I am looking for a Portuguese course with a flexible timetable, because I work.
I would be grateful if you could help me to choose which option you consider better, a family home or sharing a flat with other students?
Are there courses starting in the first or second week of June?
I would like to take a course in Lisbon. In which language will the classes be held? In English?
I am very specifically looking for a language course in Lisbon that focuses on "older" people. I will be 51 and would like to take classes with people of about the same age if possible - preferably not with very young people. Are there any language courses that focus specifically on that?
If this is not an option for you, perhaps we can look at schools in Lisbon with a higher average age in general Portuguese courses:
CIAL Centro de Linguas, for example, has an average age of 25 during the summer months and 35 during the rest of the year.
Portuguese Connection, for example, has an average age of 26 during the summer months and 30 during the rest of the year.
What you can also do is a mixed group course in the morning and some private lessons in the afternoon that you can really focus there on what you need.
